Plant City limits garage sales to a maximum number per year per residence (typically 3-4) with signage and duration limits. No permit fee for most residential sales. Commercial-scale activity prohibited.
Plant City allows residential garage/yard sales as a home-occupation exception, limited by ordinance to approximately 3-4 sales per calendar year per address, each lasting no more than 2-3 consecutive days. Sales must occur between sunrise and sunset. Items sold must be used personal property of the residents, not purchased inventory or merchandise (which would require a Business Tax Receipt). Signage is restricted to the property itself except for temporary directional signs removed within 24 hours of sale end. Holding frequent or continuous sales constitutes unlicensed retail activity.
First violation: warning. Second: $100 fine. Unpermitted continuous retail: $250+ and BTR required.
